So for reference $serverCombo and $userCombo do have items in there, removed for privacy

The code is over 2000 lines but I will include a short version you can look at and maybe we can get somewhere. #include "Login.au3" ;===============================================================================================================================================================================================================================; ;Creating GUI $hGUI = GUICreate("UAT", 450, 270, 350, 150) $browserCombo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 72, 58, 313, 25) $serverCombo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 72, 118, 313, 25) $userCombo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 72, 178, 313, 25) $userLbl = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Select User Name", 72, 148, 250, 23) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12, 800, 0, "Rockwell") $browserLbl = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Select Browser", 72, 28, 250, 23) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12, 800, 0, "Rockwell") $serverLbl = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Select Server", 72, 88, 250, 23) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12, 800, 0, "Rockwell") $startBtn = GUICtrlCreateButton("Start", 72, 220, 75, 25) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 800, 0, "Rockwell") $exitBtn = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 312, 220, 75, 25) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 800, 0, "Rockwell") GUICtrlSetData($browserCombo, "Internet Explorer|Google Chrome|Mozilla Firefox", "Internet Explorer") GUICtrlSetData($serverCombo, "", " ") GUICtrlSetData($userCombo, "", " ") GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) ;===============================================================================================================================================================================================================================; StartGUI() Func StartGUI() While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, $exitBtn Exit Case $startBtn $browser = GUICtrlRead($browserCombo) $server = GUICtrlRead($serverCombo) $user = GUICtrlRead($userCombo) ExitLoop EndSwitch WEnd GUIDelete($hGUI) ;---------------------------UAT-------------------------------------; If $browser = "Internet Explorer" And $server = "UAT" Then _IEuat() ElseIf $browser = "Google Chrome" And $server = "UAT" Then _Chromeuat() ElseIf $browser = "Mozilla Firefox" And $server = "UAT" Then _FFuat() EndIf #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <Constants.au3> #include <ButtonConstants.au3> #include <ComboConstants.au3> #include <EditConstants.au3> #include <StaticConstants.au3> #include <GuiEdit.au3> #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> ;---------------------------------------------------; ;Opens UAT in internet explorer Func _IEuat() ShellExecute($IElocation) Sleep(5000) Send("!d") Sleep(1000) Send($UATweb) Send("{Enter}") Sleep(1000) Send($userName) Send("{Tab}") Sleep(1000) Send($password) Sleep(1000) Send("{Enter}") Sleep(3000) MouseClick("Left", 960, 405) Sleep(5000) EndFunc ;Opens UAT in mozilla firefox Func _FFuat() ShellExecute($FFlocation) Sleep(5000) Send("!d") Sleep(1000) Send($UATweb) Send("{Enter}") Sleep(1000) Send($userName) Sleep(1000) Send("{Tab}") Sleep(1000) Send($password) Send("{Enter}") Sleep(3000) MouseClick("Left", 954, 381) Sleep(5000) EndFunc ;Opens UAT in google chrome Func _Chromeuat() ShellExecute($Chromelocation) Sleep(5000) Send("!d") Sleep(1000) Send($UATweb) Send("{Enter}") Sleep(1000) Send($userName) Sleep(1000) Send("{Tab}") Sleep(1000) Send($password) Send("{Enter}") Sleep(3000) MouseClick("Left", 960, 405) Sleep(5000) EndFunc

I am currently having a problem with creating a more dynamic style of GUI. I have two items in a ComboBox if selected I want to turn the other ComboBox off, or display *Not Needed*. I only know how to put this logic into the button click that I have. Is there some way to do a $GUI_HIDE or something? thanks for your help.

It was giving me the error on the $browser on the dollar sign, instead of on the && operator. Thanks for the help!

If $browser = "Internet Explorer" && $server = "DEV '.33'" Then _IEDEV() will the && operation work? I am trying to get this to look at two separate combo-boxes and using the data to run the function.

Melba, what would be your recommendation to do a selected button?

I have another question, if I had 4 buttons and when I clicked on one the color would change, but if I clicked on another; the first button that I clicked on would revert back to default. How would I do something like that.

That works great! thanks JLogan3o13, I would include the rest of the code but it is quite a large number of files.

Hello! I am making a GUI on autoit, I would like the button to change color when selected from default to red. I have searched the forums and haven't really found what I am looking for.

This is a great tool! thanks

Thanks all for your posts to this question. I am trying to use the IniWrite and IniRead functions, but I am a little confused on how I could get them to work with my GUI. Does anyone have an example of this? my attempts at searching the forums have been uneventful.

I currently am developing a little GUI to run some software automation. In this GUI a user will add a username into a GUICtrlCreateInput. I always want this to be blank to start with but I want it to remember the usernames that have been used previously. I would like to click on a drop down arrow and have the past three or so viewable. Is this possible?

Noted! I will look into it further.

Thanks again JLogan3013! That made for a nice GUI.

Thanks JLogan3o13, and Melba23! While I have your attention, I am curious how to get them to switch now? So for instance if I click on one button it has a few options like a combo box and a user input, when I click on another it doesn't switch the views it just keeps what it was before. What would be a way to debug that?
